Poop looks like coffee grounds with worms

This time of year with the flies and summer heat, flies will lay eggs on poop. The maggots hatch out, and if any chickens have soiled vents or a little injury or prolapse, it can cause fly strike. It is deadly. So inspect the vents. I have used permethrin spray inside my coop in hot weather to control flies for up to 30 days. Fans, screen wire, and keeping droppings stirred, dry, and picked up helps a lot to prevent this. Here is a good article:
